When it comes to your self worth you can’t compartmentalize it. When you allow bad treatment in one area of your life it spills over.
Sometimes it’s really hard to put the brakes on and walk away from disrespectful behaviour because we think the end goal is worth it. That might be true.
But what you give up along the way has a very high cost.
We don’t need to get better at working with difficult people, we just need to find the right places and the right projects that align with our values. That’s when things fall into place beautifully.
It’s not helpful to complain, you either choose to accept the behaviour or you don’t. You just need to be aware that there is always a cost and decide if it’s worth it.
I’m learning that for me, it’s not worth it.
